The children started the day by travelling to Holborn to visit the British Museum. First, the children visited the Upper floors to room 55 and 56 to explore the lifestyles of ancient Sumerians. children had a pre-planned worksheet to complete which focused on agriculture, Standard of Ur and children explored the lives of ancient Sumerians. Year 5 then went to observe some artefacts from the Indus Valley and Ancient Sumer civilisations. Children went on to compare the artefacts by discussing the similarities and differences between them and how each artefact may be used within the area that each civilisation is from. Some of their answers stated how objects differed depending on the climate of the region, access to the type of food (by either having to either hunt more food or grow more food) and inventions that all civilisations had created; allowing different usage of some of the same materials. In the afternoon, we explored our next History topic of Ancient Egyptians. Children learnt about how animal mummies were given as gifts to the gods and goddesses by the worshippers that visited the temples.
